Lawrence Police said this afternoon they have a suspect in a fatal hit-and-run accident early Sunday morning, according a report released today.
The 22-year-old male suspect from Lawrence has not been arrested.
Thomas Crum, 60, died after the two-vehicle collision just before 2 a.m. on West Sixth Street, a few blocks east of Kasold Drive.
Crum was driving a 1984 Pontiac east on Sixth Street when his vehicle was struck by what police described as a silver Jeep heading north on Gateway Court. The driver of the Jeep fled the scene.
The impact of the collision propelled Crum’s car into the side of the Gateway Automotive building, 534 Gateway Drive.
Crum was taken by air ambulance to a Kansas City area hospital, where he later died.
Police said when the investigation is complete they will forward it to the District Attorney’s Office for review.
